Emergency Action Plan Updated

Cable Television Upgrade

Information Technology Services have completed an extensive upgrade of the Cable Television System on the UIS Campus. The system is now 100% digital, including High Definition channels. As part of the upgrade, additional channels have also been added.

In order to take full advantage of this all-digital system including high-definition channels, please be sure to bring a digital TV with QAM tuner for use on campus. A QAM tuner enables your digital TV to receive digital cable channels directly without a set top box. If you are unsure if your TV has a QAM tuner, please check with your TV’s manufacturer.

If you still have an analog TV (tube TV) you can continue to use it by purchasing a converter box.

Status of Opening Work Orders and Maintenance

It has truly been a busy summer in the Department of Residence Life. As our maintenance department continues to work diligently to address all maintenance related issues, we would like to let all of our students know that some work on projects may extend into the Fall 2014 semester. We ask that when you arrive, if a project is noted on your inventory or by your RA as in progress, or in the queue to be addressed, that you are aware that our maintenance staff will be addressing those issues as soon as possible. We typically address issues on the basis of urgency with safety, security, and basic life functions ranked at the highest priority first, with other concerns after those have been remedied. We thank you for your patience. If you should have any questions regarding the status of your work order, please contact your Resident Director for follow-up.
